Wikis

I personally like Wikis, i use it a lot when i have to write papers and i have to research people, places, or things. I has helped me a lot in learning new things and i understand things easier because it gets right to the point. I would use it in my classroom because the website is opened to anything you want to look up. It can also help in students with study guides, students staying in contact with each other, and group projects.

I am not sure if it would be better or just a different way to do it. I think there is benefits to traditional instruction as well as using learning communities. I think you still need the face to face instruction with the technology to compliment it. Students still need to interact with one another and be able to do papers and things by hand. The internet has become the easy way to find the information you need for different projects, but I think students still need to be able to find things in books, magazines, and newspapers.You would have to do a study using one classroom that only uses only traditional instruction and one that only uses learning communities to learn. After the study then you can compare the results to find out which one works better. I think the best results will be using a combination of both types of instruction

Spreadsheet is ok it is useful. You can do a lot of different things with a spreadsheet, and most of the work it does for you which makes it way easier. I am planning on using spreadsheet in my class foralot of different reasons but the main reason is for keeping my grades in line. Once i have it all togther then it does all the work for me which will take a big load of my back.As teachers we use spreadsheets because it is easier to keep everything organized while not using a ton of paper. There is a huge advantage of using spreadsheet over a calculator, spreadsheet all you have to do is enter the equation first then after that all you do is enter the numbers and it does all the calculations by it self.I think the three primary functions, which are storing, calculating, and presenting information. I think these are the best reasons to use spreadsheet, and i will not be using it for anything else

I think a useful way to do writing assignments is blogging. I think the only useful way to do that is during class though. You can't always rely on children having the technology at home, so still peer reviewing on line will still take time in class. I think for peer review is to let the student take home anothers paper and review and have time. This way they dont blow it off they actually do it. Also reviewing papers on the computer helps as well. It shows what's misspelled incorrect grammar and so forth. Also it may make learning not so boring for students. Instead of sitting listening to a lecture, they could periodically access the program online and learn that way.

Ithink that blogging is a good thing to have, beause you can do alot more things to really safe It is a lil like myspace .Bolging is a good technology tool I think thae school's shud have it in the classroom. because its it can be a helping tool .
